How do I adjust firewall settings?

I just got Norton antivirsus 2012 earlier today, my compy is a windows 7, home 64bit

What I'm trying to do, is I'm trying to allow a game(FFXIV) to patch, since its being blocked.. I think. A friend could download it(Who doesn't have it) and I can't, since I keep getting an error message about it not being able to access the server. (My internet?)

None, I think. I don't know if I had any.. my computer was messed up because of it, too. I had(had) maelware something for a scanner, and.. Micrsoft security essentials(Or something like that), as well as... spybot search and destroy - but none of them had actual live blocking abilities. I did try and have avast for a day.. but I couldn't load up my computer, it froze on.. anyway, thats random information.

Well, on one note. I figured out it wans't norton. On another note, I'm reinstalling norton. Did a trial and error test, and uninstalled it for a moment to try and see if that'd fix it. Just to see if... it is norton. Turns out, it still didn't work. So, I(After along time of searching) followed a link on the forums, and found a link to microsoft forums, and somwhow got to checking my windows firewall, and found it might be an error with that that I have to fix.

Incase anyone ever see's this in search, and finds this helpful. Sadly, I still can't update the game, since.. I really don't know why. I wish I knew something, but until I get a reply from the games forums now, I'm going to wait to do anything else. Thank you for helping, even if it was just via search history!

Re: How do I adjust firewall settings?

Hello, again. I'm back with a different idea on how to fix my previous issue!

I was curious if there is a setting thats worded different that checks HTTP things? According to the game that I'm trying to fix this for, and the error I am getting and appon searching its forums, some people could fix this issue by disabling there HTTP checking. But, they used a "ESET" antivirus, which isn't norton and I've never even heard of it.

Anyone, if someone can awnser this, since I've looked over the settings... alot, and don't see anything that seems like 'http checking', I figured I'd come back here and ask.
